Ankle sprains are common injuries in athletes causing performance problems and executive ankle deficits, which have detrimental effects on athletes’ activities. This study examines the impact of the core stabilization exercises on performance, pain, and balance in athletic patients with chronic ankle sprain. Athletes entered in the study had at least one sprain in ankle lateral ligaments (not in the last 6 months), and had at least once recurrence of the lesion within the last 6 months reported as a sense of chronic ankle instability, or giving way in the affected leg. In control group, 6 weeks of common physical therapy techniques (including electrotherapy and exercises such as stretching and strengthening of the weak leg muscles causing the current ankle instability) and in the intervention group, in addition to common physical therapy, we use core stability exercises. Visual analogue scale (VAS) test, dynamic balance test (stars test), foot and ankle performance measures and functional ability tests before and after the intervention will be used to compare changes in pain, balance and performance among groups.
